+1 on chebe. so amazing. yeah, carb heavy, but if you're going to do pizza, this is an AMAZING substitute. just promise yourself to only do it once in a while, though.. the stuff is addictive, honestly.

i make this same recipe! it is, essentially, they exact same recipe that the CHEBE box uses. both are quite delicious. i like to make a plain "crust" when i want some flatbread for breakfast throughout the week to dip eggs in. i'm nursing, so i need the carbs.

For someone just starting a Paleo-type diet, it is very difficult to be 100% and taking some half measures can be useful. If someone is going to eat pizza, I maintain that it is far better to include a super-thin tortilla instead of regular pizza dough. When she's ready, she can get rid of the crust entirely.

Well, I'm trying to only eat lean meat (per the Cordain book which is my only real reference since I'm new to this), but I'm seriously getting bored of chicken and turkey! I've been attacking bacon, so I assume I need more fat. I've had decent weight loss in the past two months, so I'm afraid to add things...

Hello. That is very close to my recipe's dry ingredients. But my ingredients would only cost around 1-2$ for that packet. Manioc is what Cassava is made out of...it is the entire root. You can buy Tapioca flour as well, which is just the starch. I posted the link above.

I eat it every week as rice. I used to shred it in the food processor but I actually prefer it just mincing it up with the regular blade. It's just a very fine cut. I then either steam it or saute it or roast it and use it as my rice for the week. Or make delicious pizza!

I posted further down but here's the ingredients. If they sound good, enjoy, if not then good luck.
4 eggs
1/2 cup of coconut milk (or full fat milk)
1/3 cup coconut flour
1/3 cup flax meal
Add any spices or flavors you'd like to get a tasty crust. You can also cut the crust in strips and use as breadsticks. I personally add:
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp basil
garlic powder (i don't measure, i just add til i think its awesome)
Its also at www.benkreps.com. Although I tend to curse like a sailor so be careful when you look around.

There's nothing wrong with the 'get tough and give it up' but my goal has been to find alternatives that taste good. I will say be careful with bod's red mill and some of the other gluten free flours packs that are sold as they tend to be high on the carb side.
The recipe above uses coconut flour and flax meal as the primary ingredients. Forgot to mention that.

Just want to extend a very BIG THANK YOU to each of you. This is so new, and it seems there are SO many rules--but I've actually already been eating GRASS-FED meats ! I'm going to go out & purchase more grass-fed now. HAVE A FABULOUS WEEKEND ALL !!! TRICIA

I was going to say the same thing. Pick a meal that is fun, slightly indulgent, and easy for everyone to eat, but is still paleo, such as kebabs, Outback, or the mixed grill from the local italian place. Just skip the pasta and instead have salad and maybe a little rice as a once-in-a-week indulgence.

You can pick a new food that becomes your Friday tradition. Pizza is one of my #1 missed food. I thought of getting one and scraping the toppings off the ditching the crust, but I decided it's better to just avoid it.

These sort of questions are understandable but they remind me of vegetarians who spend their lives looking for meat-a-like dishes. My advice is get tough and make a new paleo friendly dish your Friday night special.

our pizza night was monday- you pay the time you call and we called it "recession pizza night" and got together with some neighborhood people with kids the same age every week. after paleo, i called monday a cheat day and would eat the pizza, then i would have just one slice on mondays, then i just started to order a big salad with steak tips on it and got pizza for the kids. now we dont do it at all, but get together with those same people and just cook dinner.

My advice would be to skip Pizza Night for about a month to six weeks, just so you can get in the Paleo groove and break your addiction to wheat (which I assume you have). After that, I would re-introduce Pizza night. There is no need to become a fanatic, and it's good to deviate from Paleo now and then.

I make little pizza puffs/dumplings by stuffing Brazillian cheese breads like a little grain-free Hotpocket. You can also just flatten a Brazillian cheese bread and it makes a fun pizza crust.

Google "pao de queijo" for recipes.

I try not to eat too many primal "processed" foods like cheese and nut/coconut/tapioca flours, but once in awhile I'll do it for a treat. Brazillian cheese bread is my new favorite treat. Sooo good and so easy. But if you aren't used to eating starches, it might be intense, haha.

You could try making a nice kebab. Paleo, quick to make, tasty too. Some ground turkey or lamb wil do nicely. Add in some cumin, garamasala, crushed dried chilis, garlic salt. Griddle, or BBQ, till nicely seared. I top mine with variations on guacamolenand serve with oven roasted tomatoes and garlic and a fresh salad. Yum.

I haven't tried it yet but it's on my to-do list. I want to try to use the spinach "bread" recipe from Mark's Daily Apple http://www.marksdailyapple.com/spinach-bread/ as a pizza crust. The spinach "bread" is just eggs, spinach, butter, pine nuts, garlic and basil. All things that I think could pair well with pizza flavors.

I also fully agree with the Meatza. Love it! I mix part ground beef part hot Italian sausage for the "crust" and then top with whatever we would normally order on a pizza.

I actually toyed around with a few different recipes for pizza when i went primal. Cauliflower was horrible and the meatza didn't quite satisfy that pizza craving I had so I made my own. I did a video for the primal blueprint challenge so you can watch or just look at the info and the recipe is listed in there. Hope it helps.

Friday night was pizza night here too!! I'd say that is the thing I miss most since starting the Paleo diet two months ago... So, now I order sausage and peppers (just in a bowl without the bread or pasta) while everyone else eats pizza! I know it's not lean meant, but eh, you can't be 100% good all the time!
